BigBandBubble, ich bräuchte Hilfe!
Weiß jemand, wo man die Titel "Perfidia" und "At Last" als Bigband-Arrangements in der Ausgabe von "London Orchestrations" (arr. Sidney Lucas) herbekommen kann? Ich suche jetzt schon einen ganze Weile in diesem Internet und bin so langsam mit meinem Latein am Ende...
Danke Euch schon jetzt ganz enorm für die Hilfe!

When I'm composing, I find meaning in the act of challenging myself, and/or to make some kind of a puzzle for myself that I have to solve in the music. Oftentimes, I make up rules for myself that I have to follow, like for example when I'm using the knitting pattern for Thordis' fichu as a basis for my compositions (I'll post one of those compositions in the comments - the Finnish Sähkökitarakvartetti playing Hyrnan IV). As you could imagine, this does not make my work simple or easy, or maybe I'm just not clever enough to be able to do this easily in a way that I would be happy with, so - hard mode it is!

When I'm composing with the knitting pattern, I do a lot of experiments and sketches, and then I choose the bits and pieces I like most, and try to make something out of those. It can be really complicated to put the sketches together in a way that makes sense for me. Therefore, while I'm working on the composition, I have to get used to everything sounding terrible before it starts to sound better, and keep chiselling away at the heap of awfulness until something I'm happy with starts emerging.

Mistakes have the potential make your art more interesting. They might also ruin everything, but sometimes - sometimes they add interest, because without them the piece might be too “slick” or too regular, or too predictable. My last creative prompt was about creating something endless. While I was working on an “endless” idea recently, I made a small mistake in the process. It resulted in making my "endless" melody much much more interesting. This tiny mistake was so delicate and fell into the tapestry of what I was making, so I let it stay there and it created endless new possibilities for my composition.

"Minnie the Moocher" is a #jazz song co-written by American musician #CabCalloway and first recorded in 1931 by Calloway and his #bigBand orchestra, selling over a million copies. #MinnieTheMoocher is famous for its nonsensical #adLibbed lyrics, also known as #scatSinging (for example, its refrain of "Hi de hi de hi de ho"). In performances, Calloway would have the audience and the band members participate by repeating each scat phrase in a form of a #callAndResponse.

For as long as I remember I’ve been fascinated with “endlessness” in art, and in life for that matter. Sometimes things appear to be going somewhere but in reality they are not, or maybe they are but there is no start or end to them. In music, we have things like “Shepard tone” and the “Risset rhythm”. I have played around with ideas that have the potential to be “endless”, for example in my composition “Hikk!” for flute, clarinet and bassoon (see comments for link). There I used a kind of a walking bass melody that walked endlessly, switching between walking up a major third and minor second, jumping up and down octaves where practical. The whole piece is derived from this small idea.

I wonder how you can play with similar ideas in poetry, photography, visual art, dance or other art forms. Feel free to try, and let me know in the comments what you come up with.

One more thing - I would love to get prompts and ideas from you, dear creative people of the internet. Tell me about ideas, interesting books or pieces you think I might enjoy.

Escuchando: nothing (2024), Louis Cole & Metropole Orkest (dirigida por Jules Buckley)

Ayer hice una jornada maratoniana, así que necesitaba algo funky para recuperarme, y esto es justo lo que buscaba. Soy muy fan de Louis Cole así que no sé cómo no lo había visto antes.

No todo es funk, también hay piezas más emocionales. Escuchad`A Pill in the Sea`, por ejemplo. He leído que mezclar el album fue un reto, y me lo imagino. Escúchalo:
